nice cheap board
Pros: Cheap - IDE - parallel - serial - adequate performance with AMD 610e 2.4 GH quad core CPU - should work well for most things (and for gaming with a decent video card.)
Cons: no USB 3.0 - no SATA 3.0 - on board video so-so - slightly slower than my 4 year old AMD 9750 2.4 GH quad core.
Overall Review: my first try only showed 1 core running at 2.4 but new power supply seemed to fix it
worst viewing angles ever
Pros: cost
Cons: I purchased this brand once before - took it back after turning it on. I was hoping they had improved their product - not so. The viewing angles are so narrow that it is useable only if seated far from screen - not useable as a monitor - might be OK as TV if you stay well back from screen. Top of screen is dark - bottom is light - there is no angle that works effectively. Cannot recommend this model.
Slow
Pros: none
Cons: bench32 - 130MBS read - 80MBS write - less than half the speed of any other SSD
WON"T ROAM
Pros: price
Cons: I have used tracfone for many years - best deal around. Their new android smart phones are not useable. Tracfone leases bandwidth from the AT&T and Verizon towers. The phones that use the AT&T towers have a "G" designation (GSM). The ones that use the Verizon towers have the "C" designation (CDMA). ALL current android "smart" tracfones use the "C" towers. A couple of years ago I switched to an LG "C" model (not smart) which works well in my area. I got a friend the LG 38C recently and will not work. We tried several tracfone android models and NONE of them work here!! Several of us sitting at lunch - with tracfone (C models) - dumb phones = 5bars - smart phones = NO SIGNAL!! Extensive web searches indicate that tracfone "smart phones" (android) WILL NOT ROAM!!! they are guaranteed to work in your home zip only!! I don't know if customer service will confirm this. I really want one of these android models but I'll have to wait until they fix this problem.
poor write performance
Pros: pretty good read speed - ATTO bench = 50-55 MBS
Cons: ATTO bench hit a high od 25MBS
Overall Review: tested under XP and Windows 7 pro 64 bit. My corsair voyager does 50 write and 55 read
nice card - bad support
Pros: nice card for the money
Cons: support says 24/7 phone support - but they don't answer!! Be sure the vendor you purchase from has goo support. Website sometimes works.
Overall Review: probably won't purchase another Galaxy product
very good service
fast service - excellent product

took 2 days to get from Florida to Auburn WA - and 10 days to get the last 75 miles - UPS to USPS - Hope they can find a better shipping method.
